Life of a Do-It-All

There are many things to do if you feel like you have a horrible professor. Before you settle into a class it might be worth it to check out  Rate my Professors . This is a website that is based on each school, where you can check with your university to see how each professor holds up within the community of your peers. We're past the point where mediocre or angry professors are acceptable, and we can no longer let it roll off our shoulders. While this is the new norm, it's important to keep your cool and remain fact-oriented. You shouldn't be scared to report your teacher if anything goes wrong, your school should be there to help you not hurt you. If you need a logical base to make a complaint: think if it gets worse and there was no documentation to prove her previous behavior, it might be hard to prove down the line.  Take the end of course surveys if offered  Follow the chain of command Documentation, documentation, documentation Remain calm, cool & col...

Getting into nursing school and other premedical facets can take years of planning and mental preparation, especially when money and time are major cofactors to its success. Currently, I am processing and playing around with different ideas of applying for different masters programs after completing nursing school. The two masters programs that I am heavily considering are NP and PA programs. For me to be able to choose between these two programs it will take a lot of planning and determination. But if you're reading this blog you're probably here for input or a perspective on receiving a Bachelor's in Nursing. Financial planning is one of the largest concerns when planning for any stent of school, but advice for that would be depending on the school. Get in touch with their financial aid offices, etc. This advice concerns the emotional and mental aspects of the decision. I've compiled some questions from myself and the internet that might be helpful reviewing before ...

Sometimes being in nursing school and juggling (what feels like one thousand) things, can sometimes create a rollercoaster of emotion when navigating everyday life. This can create slight drama when trying to find motivation. If you're in the current culture of a nursing school, it's easy to drown in what its supposed to look like: cute notes, beautiful study with me videos, and study spreads that are posted throughout different forms of social media. For most of us it can motivate us to work towards that ideal, but at certain times it can discourage those of us that are stressed. To those who get heavily discouraged seeing those beautiful techniques... No fear! We all do too! It's normal and natural, and from an objective standpoint, makes sense.  That important thing to remember seeing those spreads and pictures, if the importance of your degree. Keep your eye on the prize and its priority in your life. All of us sacrifice something daily for the dream of being in the m...

      Icon, a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something. Obviously, we all announce that Scooby Doo is the icon of the millennium.  While the show "Scooby Doo, Where are You?" was created in 1969 to create better shows for children at the time. It was able to impact all groups of people to provide an entertaining series that can forever stand the test of time. This original show took off showing a team of teens solving mysteries. This show follows the main character Scooby Doo, a charismatic Grayhound inspired by the lead character designer Takamoto's discussion with a studio colleague. Scooby consistently follows characters that are on the run. Many of these crazy criminals that are the focus of the show, hide behind the masks of their problems, which urge them to commit crimes.   Scooby chasing these criminals, it allows us to realize that everyone has their own masks and troubles throughout our lives and lets us unmas...

Archived from November. We did an interesting exercise in my health and wellness class. Firstly, we wrote everything that we aspire to be a nurse on a notecard and interacted with the rest of the class speed dating style. Not only did we have to write down and share everything that we want to be as a nurse, we had to share our fears of becoming a nurse! Here is what I wrote about my aspirations: Knowing this, most of us have the same desires. We all want to provide the best care that we can for our patient and their surrounding families. It was interesting to know about our fears. My personal fear is not having the same culture or background as someone, and not being able to provide the care that they need in the moment. Upon mentioning this is class my teacher had some poetic words of wisdom to share... As long as we are kind, caring, compassionate, trusting people, all our patients will need us to do is listen. - Thank you, Dr.! But here is the list we made of everythi...
